JBM to showcase electric buses at Auto Show 2020

Aligning with their theme e-life- Explore the World of Mobility, JBM will be showcasing  two variants, 9m and 12m Non-AC Ecolife, India's 100 % electric bus and BS-VI compliant Citylife- India’s true low floor AC bus. Along with which they would also showcase EV charging infrastructure to support the Ecolife buses. 

Nishant Arya, Executive Director, JBM Group will be sharing his views on pushing the frontiers of transportation towards e-mobility with innovation in technology, design and build. Earlier, commenting on the Union Budget 2020, Arya said, "The Government's attempt to boost consumption by cutting the Income Tax rates could have a knock-on effect on the automotive sector. The cut in Income Tax rates could leave more money in the hands of people, encouraging them to spend. Also, the Finance Minister's attempt at offering some support to the auto component manufacturers could give an impetus to the indigenous manufacture of auto components, but that would take a while.

“We had expected this year’s Budget to propel the auto industry to a higher orbit and help it recover from the lows it has touched last year. We were also hoping for a much-required push to EVs and greater clarity on the EV plans with a longer-term perspective as an industry”.
